CCRN Questions and Answers A 56 yr-old male is admitted to the ICU with a blood pressure of 225/135 and complains of a headache and nausea. He reports he ran out of blood pressure meds three days ago, but also appears to be confused to the date and situation. What is the most appropriate treatment approach? -Correct Answer= Rapidly lower the diastolic pressure to 100 with IV antihypertensive meds, then continue to gradually reduce the diastolic pressure to 85 with oral antihypertensive meds. The...

1. A nurse is evaluating the central venous pressure (CVP) of a client who has sustained multiple traumas. Which of the following interpretations of a low CVP pressure should the nurse make? A. Fluid overload Rationale: The CVP is the pressure in the vena cava, or right atrium, and is reflective of preload. A client who has fluid overload would have a high CVP value. B. Left ventricular failure Rationale: Left ventricular failure can be detected by an elevated pulmonary artery wedge pressure...

A patient's preload is decreased. How should the nurse interpret this information? -the stroke volume has increased -the ventricles have stretched more -the muscarinic receptors are activated -the end-diastolic volume has decreased - the end-diastolic volume has decreased -cardiac preload can be expressed as either end-diastolic volume or en-diastolic pressure; thus, decreased preload is decreased end-diastolic volume or end-diastolic pressure. Which statement is correct regarding the di...

PAEA Emergency Medicine EOR Exam Study Guide. what is the most common cause of heart failure? specifically left sided? right sided? - - MC is CAD (coronary artery disease) -L sided: *CAD* & HTN -R sided: *L sided HF* & pulmonary dz decreased ejection fraction, thin ventricular walls, dilated LV chamber, and an S3 gallop (filling of dilated ventricle) is associated with systolic or diastolic heart failure? - systolic (MC form of CHF) *(the sound is actually heard in the diastole though) ...

what is the most common cause of heart failure? specifically left sided? right sided? Answer - -MC is CAD (coronary artery disease) -L sided: *CAD* & HTN -R sided: *L sided HF* & pulmonary dz decreased ejection fraction, thin ventricular walls, dilated LV chamber, and an S3 gallop (filling of dilated ventricle) is associated with systolic or diastolic heart failure?

minimum urine output for adult 0.5mL/kg/hr ADH (antidiuretic hormone) - water retainer - vasoconstrictor (also called Vasopressin) - produced by hypothalamus - store and released from posterior pituitary ADH pathway - hypothalamus senses low blood volumed and increased serum osmolality - signal pituitary to release ADH - ADH causes kidney to retain water - water retention increases blood volume and decreases serum osmolality ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) -...
